Hi Have installed potato(carefully,multiple times) using boot floppy images 2.2.23 from CDROM. On reboot, apt-get tries to access packages and gets error: "fs iso9660 not supported by kernel". Using mount has always given the same error. I tried using an older version installer (2.1) which explicitly refused to load the cdrom module. The CDROM is ATAPI, ASUS CD S400/A and should not need a special driver. The computer is AMD K5 -- Debian is hdc secondary master, CDROM is hdd secondary slave. CDROM works fine on Mandrake 8.0 which is on a different physical drive hda, dual boot using LILO. CDROM works on floppy or CDROM Debian boot media, just not from Debian on hdc. I tried to use ftp for access thinking to try to compile a different kernel but on the last two tries apt-get now cannot name resolve the Debian ftp site. I had gotten further with this Debian install and after some effort X-windows was working somewhat. I then tried to mess with kernel issues to get the CDROM working but I'm not winning. As I reread this, sounds like hdc maybe can't reach the CDROM. I'll check the hardware, but are there any other insights?
